As seen on my blog ():
I am really glad that Janice decided to go back to Shadow Pine and continue the story of the Karlson sisters. In addition to getting reacquainted with characters from the previous books, we got to familiarize ourselves a little more with Charlie Karlson and her love interest, Adam Bollingsworth.

Adam is a TV reporter that you may have met before, if you read the previous two books in the series (Danny, #1; Alex, #2). Charlie is a virgin who loves reading dirty romance novels and has a penchant for naming her cats after Jane Austen heroes.

I thought their story was really cute and I loved how Janice took her time with them and let the chemistry build. I’m all for the intense, in-your-face chemistry, but I also really love a good slow burn where the reader gets to witness the chemistry between the two main characters evolve over time (or pages).

As mentioned above, Charlie is a virgin (not by choice) and she has her eyes set on Adam as the one to deflower her. Adam finds Charlie intriguing and, over the course of the book/as he gets to know her, we see his curiosity turn into interest. When Adam finds out about Charlie’s “Wham Bam, Thank You Ma’am” scheme, he pumps the breaks and tells her that he’s looking for something more than a hookup. What follows next is a beautiful love story that will leave you swooning!

I can’t wait to see where Janice takes this series next!

I love visiting Shadow Pine. The sisters are so incredibly unique, both with their background and each other, and I absolutely love learning more about each girl. 
Adam was perfect for Charlie. Flawed, imperfect, and trying so so hard. 
I had saved this story for just the right time and I KNEW I’d love it. I’m sad I waited so long, but also very happy that Sam’s book is almost here now!
